“A única vez que você perde alguma coisa é quando não aprende com essa experiência” Eu tenho pensado e refletido desde sábado à noite. Eu aprendi muito Sinto-me orgulhoso por ter disputado três rounds contra um grande lutador. Mas revelou os buracos no meu jogo. Por isso, sou grato porque me mostrou o que preciso trabalhar. Então, de volta à prancheta. Meu sonho ainda é o mesmo. Eu ainda estou focado. Não ganhei, mas aprendi. “The only time you lose at something is when you don’t learn from that Experience” I have been thinking and reflecting since Saturday night. I learnt a lot. I feel proud that I went three rounds against a great fighter. But it revealed the holes in my game. For this, I’m thankful because its shown me what I need to work on. So back to the drawing board. My dream is still the same. I’m still focused. I didn’t win, but I learned. #ufc #illbeback #stronger #and #improved #vou #voltar #melhor #e #mais #forte #obrigado #Deus #evoluçao
